kerry which opens up the senate seat to mass, let's deal with that later. the question for the governor. you affirm the intelligence assessments read on the sunday shows were wrong. and i think it's fair and obvious that the intelligence leading up to the attack was wrong and missed the attack. so can you talk about what type of massive or maybe not so massive intelligence failure occurred on the president's watch and what can be done to actually fix that? >> look, what the president has said and what is going on is an investigation. ambassador tom pickering, probably the most senior member conducting that investigation, you to read all of the e-mails, all of the cables, all of the meetings, and you make an assessment of who bears some responsibility in this issue. is it diplomatic security? is intelligence? i think there's another issue here which really concerns me and that at one point the disclosure of some of our libyan assets was made publicly by one of the house committees. i think we have to be very careful about issues like sources and methods to e

so i think he came out so strongly, so when he doesn't appoint her and goes with someone like john kerry or tom donilon, his defense is already on record. and he didn't have to relitigate that in the press. >> i'll tell you what i saw yesterday, issue aside, i saw a president with a heightened level of testosterone gravitas, and maybe a precursor of what he's going to look like for the next four years. obviously, he's been going toe to toe. but there was an authority. i'm going to keep using the world testosterone, i thought a lot of that was missing in the first term. i saw that in a public volley eight days later. >> he spoke quickly in that press conference. did you notice? it's the fastest i've ever heard him speak, we got accustomed to a very slow methodic, kind of elongated speech pattern. handy came out, he was rapid, he was quick. >> he said, you got a problem, come to me. >> i found that very interesting. >> richard, what are you hearing, as the most connected in the intelligence community, at this table, certainly, about an outcome with his benghazi investigation? where this he

they certainly weren't falling over themselves saying we would vote to approve john kerry if nominated, but they didn't have any kind of aversion to him either. he's one of the club here in terms of the senate club. but back to this whole question of susan rice, i think as i mentioned before, i was the one who provoked senator graham and senator mccain into talking about susan rice because the question that i asked was something i've been hearing from democrats, which is this, why are you so opposed to susan rice after she made some potentially incorrect or what now seemed to be incorrect statements publicly when they supported condoleezza rice back in the bush years for secretary of state after she clearly made incorrect public statements about weapons of mass destruction in iraq. and that's what provide voloked whole discussion. it comes to a question, it seems to me, certainly they're angry and these republican senators are calling for a select committee, a watergate style committee to look into all of the issues relating to libya. but the way that this back and forth is going so an
